Mark,
No, there is only one Who IS Good. I see by that statement I hit a nerve by pressing the issue. Not always a bad thing,IMO.
I could only be lying to you if I told you, your path by your own making is hunky dory. I would be no neighbor at all, but would only be passing by on the other side of the road to avoid conflict or inconvenience. (Remember the old story of the Good Samaritan?)
Jesus did not avoid the Pharisees and/or scribes, to let them go their own road, He faced them head on. Some of the things He told them were not pretty but blindness and death is not either. He also met any sinner right where they lived....do you feel He left them that way?
So you see, as long as you let me talk to you, I can never say to you that any ol path 'll do? If I did, then you have but another fair weather friend at best(you have plenty of those here) and can never approach you , never disagree with you, never tell you that there IS a path and He is the Messiah. This is not the World Atlas Map Club, where all roads lead to the same destination. Jesus says there is ONE. It is Straight, Narrow, and leads to Eternal Life.
So you can do as Sammy did and "ignore" me too. That's ok. But to ignore Him?
As the Greeks came and said " Sir, we would see Jesus" , so too we did see Him lifted up for you.
Is your path more than His?
Your friend,
dan
